American
Institute of Chemical Engineers
The
national professional society for the Chemical Engineering
profession is the American Institute of Chemical Engineers
(AIChE). Michigan State University has a very active
student chapter of AIChE. Most undergraduate Chem.
E's are members of the chapter whose objectives are
to promote professionalism and to contribute to the
development of Chemical Engineering at Michigan State
University. The chapter has won outstanding chapter
awards from the National AIChE, and MSU student members
have been the most successful in the country in winning
the AIChE student design contest. AIChE
offers a balance of social and professional activities.
There are frequent meetings during the year with
speakers from industry and academia. Other activities
include special industrial and social functions
(e.g. Tiger ball games, plant trips, an annual picnic,
a banquet, and an awards night).

Baja Team
SAE
Mini BajaŽ is a student design competition run by
the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) that simulates
real-world engineering design projects and their
related challenges. Engineering students are asked
to design and build an off-road vehicle that will
survive the severe punishment of rough terrain and/or
water. The object of the competition is to provide
SAE student members with a challenging project that
involves the planning and manufacturing tasks found
when introducing a new product to the consumer industrial
market. Students must function as a team to not
only design, build, test, promote, and race a vehicle
within the limits of the rules, but also to generate
financial support for their project and manage their
educational priorities.

| NOBCChE
The
National Organization for the Professional Development
of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE)
was established in 1975 to develop and carry out
programs to assist minority groups in realizing
their full potential in science and engineering
fields. Minority scientists comprise a very small
percentage of the professionals in their respective
disciplines. The organization's purpose is to maintain
and support regional programs which assist underrepresented
groups in fully realizing their academic and/or
professional potential, introduce science and technology
as viable professional goals to students on the
elementary and high school levels, and encourage
college students to pursue higher education in professional
departments.
Our
Local Chapter meets every other week to specifically
address the scholarly concerns of underrepresented
students in science and engineering fields and to
provide an intellectual support system by networking
students in these specific disciplines to professionals
internal and external to the MSU campus. The Chapter
maintains tutorial, and visitor speakers programs
and lends its support to MSU and community programs
sensitive to the needs of minority scholars. Members
from the Chapter this year will contribute to MSU
programs targeted towards grade and high school
students. The Chapter strongly encourages students
to actively participate in research laboratories
on the MSU campus, and to present their results
at technical sessions in National scientific and
engineering forums.

Chi Epsilon
Omega
Chi Epsilon, The Chemical Engineering Honor Society,
recognizes and promotes high scholarship, original
investigation and professional service in Chemical
Engineering. The honorary was formed at the University
of Illinois in 1931. The Alpha Zeta Chapter was
formed at Michigan State in 1977. Today there are
sixty-seven chapters at colleges and universities
in the United States.
To be
considered for membership, juniors must rank in
the upper 25% of their class and have a GPA of 3.25
or more. Seniors in the upper 33% must have a GPA
of 3.0 or more to be eligible. They must also have
completed nine hours of chemical engineering courses.
In addition to providing recognition for outstanding
students the chapter encourages the exchange of
information on summer job experiences and the advantages
of graduate work in chemical engineering. Periodically
a newsletter is published to acquaint students with
activities in the department.
